In the context of an acute succession challenge in Quebec Manufacturing and in order to prevent further deindustrialization, we provide a unique, structured and holistic approach to resolving the problem.

Purpose – Why ?

There is a real need to ensure the survivability (sustainability) of existing manufacturing companies and to offer a new generation of entrepreneurs the opportunity to build wealth on both existing and solid foundations. Our approach proposes to avoid the risks of the start-up process by giving a chance to a new generation of entrepreneurs to be in business without having to start from scratch.

"The most encouraging development in 2014 has been the strong advances achieved by Quebec exporters, particularly in the US market. We expect this source of growth to be a catalyst that will rejuvenate activity in a number of other economic sectors in 2015."
